Important Notes

  • Adding a deposit record is for tracking purposes only β€” it does not automatically generate an invoice. If funds are being held, create an invoice separately.

  • Client/Trust Accounting customers should also refer to the bonds and deposits articles for handling received funds.

  • Xero customers can generate a standard income invoice for the receipt of deposit funds.


In North America, bonds and deposits are referred to as Security Deposits. For more information on regional terminology, see our Glossary of Regional Terminology.
